You just described my childhood, Sarge. Thanx. And some more memories from then. Baseball games on the radio (we didn't have tv yet). Party lines, Kick the Can games under the street lights, no jeans or levis in school, no long hair over the ears for guys, white bucks, Red Ball jets, Keds, bikes with one speed and coaster brakes, downhill "racers" made from old ironing boards and baby buggy axles and wheels, hitch hiking all over town (and the country for me) without fear of who picked you up, and picking up hitchhikers without fear of them attacking you, and my all time favorite: the first time you heard a solid lifter cammed small block Chevy with open headers changing gears at 7200 rpm's!!!!!
